Interesting stories about Hainan's human geography

The land area of Hainan Province consists of Hainan Island and its western islands, southern islands and zhongsha islands. Hainan Island accounts for 99% of the land area and is divided into Haikou City, Sanya City and Wuzhishan City (formerly Tongshi City) 18 cities and counties. The central part of Hainan Island concentrates the main mountain ranges in Hainan Province, which are composed of more than 600 peaks with an altitude of 1000 meters and some low mountains. These mountains are divided into two parts by Wanquan River and Changhua River. Wuzhishan (elevation1.867m), Diaoluoshan (elevation1.250m) and Qixian Ridge (also called Qizhiling), the highest peaks in Hainan Island, have been developed into tourist areas in the east. Altitude 1 107m), with Limu Mountain (altitude 144 1m) and Jianfengling (altitude 14 12m) in the west. These peaks block the water vapor blowing from the Pacific Ocean, so fog often gathers in the mountains, forming a warm, cool and humid climate in the mountains. No matter what season you travel to the mountains, the feeling here is always cool. The towering mountains have also weakened the violent typhoons and cold currents that occasionally hit the island, making many cities and counties in the western part of Hainan Island typhoon-free and cold-free.

Central China is rich in water resources and natural forest resources, and the three major rivers in Hainan, Nandu River, Wanquan River and Changhua River, all originate here. There are many rare tree species in the forest, which play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance in western Hainan.

The coastline of Hainan Province is 16 17.8km, and the beach area is vast. Of the 18 cities and counties under the jurisdiction of Hainan Province, 13 are all coastal cities and counties, which are distributed all over the island. Many coastal areas have been developed into coastal tourist areas, such as Yalong Bay in Sanya, Dadonghai, Haikou Strip Park and Qionghai Bobe. More are developed into docks, fishing ports, salt fields and so on. Because Hainan is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, it is the only place for Japan, North Korea, Vietnam and other countries to ship. The island's marine fishery also relies on these ports to develop, and it is precisely because of the vigorous development of fishery that tourists have the opportunity to taste economical and delicious and rich seafood. Hainan's ports can be said to be one of the springboard for Hainan's economic take-off.

Hainan Island is rich in hot spring resources, which cannot be ignored. There are 34 large and small hot springs on the island, distributed in the southeast and northwest of the island, and 8 have been developed, including Qixianling, Yanglan and Xinglong. Most of the hot springs in Hainan Island blend with the mountains and the sea, among which the hot springs in Qixianling are the most natural.

There are few natural lakes in Hainan Island, but there are many rivers. People use these rivers to build reservoir power stations and develop water conservancy and hydropower projects, which not only has social and economic benefits of flood control and power supply, but also forms other island and lake scenery of Hainan Island, such as Songtao Reservoir, Daguangba Reservoir, Linan Lake and Yueyun Lake.

Hainan Province has the highest temperature in winter in China. Strictly speaking, there is no winter in Hainan province, only sporadic winter. The coldest time is 65438+ 10 month, and the average temperature in most areas is above 17℃. The average temperature in March ~165438+1October is over 20'C, and the temperature in the south coast, west, south and zhongsha islands of Hainan Island is even higher. The highest annual temperature in Hainan province mostly occurs in April-May at the turn of spring and summer, which often makes people unaware of the coming of the summer heat. July is the midsummer in Hainan Province. However, due to the adjustment of the surrounding ocean, it will not make people feel stuffy. In addition, there are often thunderstorms near the islands in midsummer, and the coolness after the shower will make people feel particularly comfortable. In midsummer, the highest temperature in the mountainous area of central Hainan is only about 27℃, and many forest parks have become natural summer resorts. Because Hainan Island is surrounded by the sea, it is rich in wind resources. In addition, Hainan Province is also the region with the most rainfall at the same latitude in the world. Under the storm, the typhoon has become a "frequent visitor" in Hainan. May to 10 is the rainy season in Hainan province every year, and typhoons also occur during this period, with July to 10 being the most active period for typhoons. The dark landscape when the typhoon comes is rare for people who have lived inland for a long time. If you want to know the most accurate weather forecast in Hainan Province, you may wish to listen to Hainan People's Broadcasting Station, starting time 1952.

Hainan Island is the second largest island in China, located at the southernmost tip of the motherland. It was formed in the middle and late Neogene about 6.5438 million years ago. Hainan has become an island separated from the mainland because of the subsidence of Qiongzhou Strait caused by crustal fault blocks. After 1988 was established, the land area of the whole province was only 3535 1 km2, accounting for 0.35% of the national land area. It is the smallest province in China, but it is the largest maritime province in China. Including Hainan Island and its Xisha, Nansha, zhongsha islands and other islands, the sea area under its jurisdiction is 2 million square kilometers. Hainan Province governs 9 cities/counties (autonomous counties) and offices in Xisha, Nansha and zhongsha islands, among which Haikou, Sanya, Qiongshan and Danzhou, the provincial capitals, are excellent tourist cities in China.

Hainan Island faces Leizhou Peninsula across Qiongzhou Strait in the north, borders Vietnam in the west, Hong Kong and Taiwan Province Province in the east, the Philippines in the southeast and Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore in the south. It is the crossroads of China's contacts with Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian countries, and its geographical position is very superior. Hainan is located in the subtropical zone with a monsoon tropical climate, with an average annual temperature of 23.8 degrees Celsius. The cool coconut wind in midsummer blows away the summer heat, and the bright sunshine in winter warms the sea, so there is no real heat and winter. It is a resort for winter swimming and shelter from the cold. The island is evergreen and the air is fresh. Known as "a good place to return to nature, an unpolluted longevity island."

Coconut tree is the symbol tree of Hainan, so Hainan is called Coconut Island, and "Coconut Wind and Sea Rhyme" is the best portrayal of Hainan. Under the reputation of hard-working and kind women in Hainan, Hainan men inevitably pushed forward a topic. Someone framed Hainan men as dad's teahouse. Some people think that Hainan men in the entrepreneurial craze should not be underestimated, and some even judge and marry Hainan men one by one by region. Southern Metropolis Daily reporter conducted an interview on this.

the local environment

Even if they are all "men closest to the sun", Hainan men will inevitably have different characteristics under the influence of different customs and habits. Among them, Wenchang male, Chengmai male and Wanning male are often classified into one category because of their distinct personalities and different views.

Wenchang men wander around the country the most, even on wooden boats to Nanyang, Wenchang men are the most crowded, so Wenchang has become a famous hometown of overseas Chinese. Wenchang men are not afraid to travel, so "male chauvinism" is naturally famous. In Jeff's words, the diligence and virtue of Wenchang women are basically "edified and educated" by Wenchang men. Jeff and his wife are both from Wenchang, and their husband Lao Lin works in an office. Although he is not busy with his work, he seldom does housework. Jeff said that since ancient times, Wenchang belongs to the hometown of culture, and Wenchang men are favored by Hainan women because of their handsome appearance and decent conversation. Moreover, Wenchang men are outside, and in their hearts, there are obvious differences between big things and small things. Men and women should also distinguish what they should do, and trivial housework naturally belongs to small things. They almost ignored it and threw it directly to their wives. Wenchang men are lazy at home and like to firmly grasp the right to speak in the field. Therefore, Wenchang men have more careers.

For modern women, "Wenchang Fairy" is not as popular as expected. Miss Wu said that if she was asked to choose a spouse, she would not consider Wenchang male. She said that most urban women are self-reliant, and they no longer need to change their destiny through marriage and their husbands' future. On the contrary, she will consider the relationship between husband and wife and the quality of life more realistically. She hopes that her husband is a considerate person who knows how to cherish women and take care of the family, but the Wenchang men she knows generally do not perform well in this respect.

Wanning men under the banner of "male chauvinism" are relatively more realistic. There are many Wanning men who yell at each other without saying anything, but there are also many Wanning men who take their wives to the fields to unload goods and open stores. Mr. Liu is the son-in-law of Wanning, and he has made friends with many Wanning men, all of whom are very close. He said that geographically speaking, Wanning is characterized by a big town and a small village. Wanning men living in small villages like to make friends and attach importance to feelings and righteousness. He thinks Wanning man is the most hardworking man in Hainan. Everywhere you go, you will see the footprints of Wanning men, from being an official to buying junk and riding a tricycle. As long as you can make money, it doesn't matter how hard you work. Mr. Liu said that some men in Wanning can really see the enterprising spirit rising from the ground, which is very commendable. Someone once joked that Wanning people are "Jews" in Hainan.

The shortcomings and advantages of Wanning men are equally distinct. The grumpy Wanning man did not scare off women, but everyone familiar with it knows that this may be a paper tiger. Miss Liu said that her father is from Wanning, and everyone is afraid when she is angry, but her father loves her children the most. She feels that children and family will always be the most important position in the hearts of Wanning men. My father worked hard all his life and devoted himself to the children.

In Miss Zhang's view, Chengmai men are the most warm and amiable, which can be seen from the soft Chengmai dialect. Miss Zhang said that she was going home to get married at the end of September this year, and her husband Xiao Wang was a Chengmai person. Through the contact with Xiao Wang's family, she felt that Chengmai men were good-tempered, warm and sincere, without too many men's airs and meticulous in doing things. As Xiao Wang, who is about to become her husband, consideration is what she is most satisfied with. She thinks that pure enthusiasm is not only the advantage of Chengmai men, but also the advantage of most Hainan men.

Hainan men in tea

In the long impression, "Hainanese" and "milk tea" appear side by side in people's field of vision, and even in the eyes of some foreigners, they have become equivalent images and can be interpreted each other.

Someone once concluded: "Hainan women are in the fields and Hainan men are in the tea." Since then, Hainan men have been branded as lazy. There are many people who make clouds, but few people care about the origin of dad's tea. I don't know that this half bowl of herbal tea has also made Hainan men proud.

Dad's tea was originally produced in Deshengsha near Haidian Creek. There is also a folk saying that the prosperity of Dad Tea is related to fishermen. Most of the people who used to go fishing in the sea were men and worked at sea for several months. In the face of unpredictable storms, once they landed safely with a full load, these exhausted barefoot fishermen sat around a small teahouse, conveniently wiped off the fishy smell on their trouser legs, and a pot of hot dad's tea wandered around the world, chatting about the things that had been kept at sea for several months. They are full of confidence, and the profits on board are proof of their strength. In this way, milk tea has become a derivative of marine culture. In a word, drinking tea has become a life for islanders.

Once, men who drank tea were also business people. At that time, it was so harmonious and natural for Hainan men to drink their father's tea in their own eyes and in the eyes of women. In that era of underdeveloped economy, there was no external impact and no reference speed on the island. Everything can be idle, and there is no place to waste time. What does it feel like to let the sun go down after drinking tea all day?

Lao Gan lives in Jiangdong, Du Nan, and has been a fisherman for generations, but now he and his son have abandoned their ancestral business and started a repair business in the town, and their lives are very practical. A year later, my son is almost 20 years old. He felt it necessary to find his son a "proper job" in Haikou, and soon he got clues from his friends.

"Come out for a cup of tea and then talk." Lao Gan put the phone down, flattered. Before dawn the next day, he got up early, crossed the river and invited a friend to the teahouse on Chang Di Road for morning tea.

A habit of thinking has been deeply embedded in the bones of Hainan men. To talk about things, drink tea first. If you can't finish the work, put tea on it first. The coffee table is a place to brew a career. The idleness and laziness brought by tea table culture have also been brought to the road by Hainan men from generation to generation, and their ambitions and will have been gradually buried. At the moment when the market is rapidly killing, such an idle state has obviously become a shackle.

Mr. Wen is a typical old Haikou, but apart from social morning tea, he hardly sets foot in street teahouses. He said that men in Hainan love to drink tea, which is a good habit, but there are two kinds of drinks in teahouses, busy and unemployed tourists. Nowadays, in order to pay attention to efficiency, people who are busy with business have no time to take tea as a pastime, so most of the rest are unemployed. These people go to the teahouse not to drink tea, but to chat. What makes him even more angry is that the men on the coffee table are still fascinated by color classics, preferring to wait for pies rather than work hard, and many of them are young people. Some men in Hainan often talk too much and do too little, which is why it is difficult for their careers to improve, which makes people sad. Finally, people blame "milk tea" for disgust. Hainan is the second largest treasure island in China after Taiwan Province Province, with charming coastal scenery. From Haikou to Sanya, there are three main scenic spots on the east line of Hainan: Boao (red female soldier statue, Boao Watertown, Boao Forum for Asia, Wanquan estuary), Xinglong (Xinglong Botanical Garden, Xinglong Tropical Garden) and Lingshui Monkey Island. If you stay in Haikou for one night, you can travel around three places in one day and arrive in Sanya at night. Boao is characterized by the mouth of Wanquan River, where you can set foot on both sides of the river and the sea at the same time, and the meeting place of Bochu Club is also very imposing.

Hainan Central Line is a tourist area in central Hainan, centering on Wuzhishan City, including Baoting, Qiongzhong and Tunchang counties. Wuzhishan is the main peak of Hainan Island, which is particularly majestic. The former site of Qiongya Column in Qiongzhong is a memorial to the modern revolution. The Qixianling Hot Springs in Baoting are characterized by tropical rain forests and wild streams, and the environment is quiet and petty. In addition, the central line area is where Li and Miao people have lived for generations, and the customs of Li and Miao people are local characteristics. The third day of March in the lunar calendar is the most solemn festival for the Li people.
